I saw an article browsing the Wall Street Journal on this Naomi Wolf piece, thought I'd post a link to the original.

Sex drives men crazy!! Furthermore, the craziness is genetically transmitted to more and more male babies through the "side effect" of biological reproduction!!!

Could the widespread availability and consumption of pornography in recent years actually be rewiring the male brain, affecting men’s judgment about sex and causing them to have more difficulty controlling their impulses?

Could men be EVEN MORE DEFECTIVE than we feminists have always believed? Read more for the SHOCKING answer!

therapists and sexual counselors were anecdotally connecting the rise in pornography consumption among young men with an increase in impotence and premature ejaculation

How does that work?

Sexual scandals never existed before the Internet.

Men were all perfectly well-behaved and in control.

If this is the same Naomi Wolf who had been affiliated with many marxist/socialist and anti-men organizations, then avoid her like the clap.

She is a “hater”, of men, of America, of Israel, of free enterprise, of democracy.

In fact, many women don’t like her extremism at all. She is Gloria Steinem on steroids, and with hairy armpits.

It should be illegal...too many criminals and such are emboldened and sustained by porn. The Meese report about it years ago clearly showed that.

Well, I do think repeated exposure to anything intriguing creates a desire for yet more. I remember when I was much younger, going through a phase where I was reading a lot of erotica. (I’m not much into pictures, but I do like to read!) And after a while, it did seem to be slowly changing my brain into something I didn’t like. One day I decided it had to stop, and I stopped cold. I don’t go near it now. It really is quite dangerous, IMHO.

A combination of things is far more likely to create widespread sexual aberration.

To start with, in America there are no polite, chaperoned, social events that young people can attend that involve socialization without strong distractions.

When asked when do children socialize, most people respond by saying school, first, then church. But in both of these cases, children are kept very busy doing other things, so their interaction is minimal.

Even if you just put children in a big room together, they would self segregate by gender, so in a chaperoned environment this could not be permitted to any great extent.

One suggestion to achieve socialization sounds almost bizarre, but might be particularly effective, to literally (padded) handcuff or ankle cuff a boy together with a girl for an hour each day for a week, then they switch partners and are handcuffed to other children of the opposite gender. To go to such extreme lengths shows how very important such socialization is to our society.

Familiarity with the other gender in a polite and social way goes quite a way to preventing what Ann Coulter recently proclaimed to be a terrible social blight: single motherhood, which statistically produces anti-social children far more than children from two parent families.

Children raised without gender socialization are terribly vulnerable to false information, intellectually and emotionally. They do not understand the other gender, yet are propagandized into sexuality long before they are ready for it, under the mistaken belief that their peers are far more sexual than they are.

There are many perverse adults more than happy to exploit them for their sexual naivete and innocence. Both commercially and personally, to the point where such abuse is mainstream. Why make a movie where 10 year old children are dating and kissing? 14 year old children are having sex? And in recent years, it has taken a strongly dark turn in Hollywood, with movies about young children who are raped and even murdered.

But this situation, a lack of socialization, has been going on for many years. If you examine the young lives of men who are pathologically sexually aggressive as adults, you will likely find no understanding, or even concern about girls and women other than sex objects.

Is pornography driving men crazy? by Naomi Wolf

Let's see, feminists wage all-out war on men for forty years, replace them with teens and metrosexuals and lesbianism, and then... women go stark raving mad. What to do? Hmmm... blame men, of course!

Not so fast, Naomi, sweetie.

I can’t believe that married women are losing out to porn. How can a cold plastic case compare to the loving caress of a affectionate wife?

Porn has certainly influenced the beauty aesthetic for both young men and women. I look at the wedding pictures of my grandmothers and great-grandmothers, and realize they would never get asked on a date if compared to today’s Hollywood/Playboy ideal.

unlike today, though, they were far more discreet and generally used much better judgment in order to cover their tracks

She's dead wrong on this. In the past, powerful men didn't have to be discrete as they need to today, because they knew that they had an infrastructure built up around them that would protect them.

JFK is Exhibit A in this: pretty much the entire socio/political elite (and corresponding apparatuses) knew that he was an insatiable womanizer. But they ran interference for them. The press suppressed what they knew, and in situations where word of his indiscretions were about to get out the entire power apparatus would move forward with the "Ellen Rometsch Strategy".

I think one factor is the kind of pressure that is brought to bear on some politicians to do more than they really want. I think Edwards was being pushed so hard by his wife that he unconsciously effed up. I heard that Gore really was not as ambitious as his father wanted him to be. Just 2 examples. I’m sure others can think of more.
